What are the clinical advantages of using the GDT Implants Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Slim Platform 17°?
The GDT Implants Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Slim Platform 17° is designed to optimize implant-supported restorations in cases where implant angulation presents challenges. Its 17-degree angulation allows for correction of implant divergence, improving prosthetic alignment and ensuring better load distribution. The slim platform facilitates placement in areas with limited interproximal space, making it ideal for cases requiring precision and aesthetic considerations. Additionally, the abutment’s design promotes efficient soft tissue adaptation, which supports long-term peri-implant health.
How does the slim platform benefit prosthetic restorations?
The 1.4mm slim platform of this multi-unit abutment is particularly advantageous for restorations in narrow spaces where traditional platforms may be too bulky. It enhances prosthetic adaptability while maintaining structural integrity. This design minimizes soft tissue displacement, promoting a more natural emergence profile and improving overall aesthetics. Additionally, it supports precise seating of the restoration, reducing potential gaps that could lead to plaque accumulation and peri-implant complications.
What material is used for the GDT Implants Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Slim Platform 17°, and why?
This abutment is crafted from grade 5 titanium, known for its exceptional strength, durability, and corrosion resistance. Titanium ensures long-term structural stability while maintaining a lightweight profile, which is essential for patient comfort. The material's surface properties contribute to excellent soft tissue integration, which supports healthy gingival response and reduces the risk of inflammatory complications. The precision-engineered titanium construction also enhances mechanical retention, ensuring a secure and stable prosthetic connection.
When should clinicians consider using a 17° angulated multi-unit abutment?
The GDT Implants Angulated Multi-Unit 1.4 Slim Platform 17° is ideal for cases where implant placement results in angulation discrepancies that need correction. It is especially beneficial in full-arch restorations or when working in the anterior region, where achieving optimal prosthetic positioning is crucial for both function and aesthetics. Clinicians should consider this abutment when implants are placed at an angle due to anatomical constraints, such as the maxillary sinus or mandibular nerve, and require adjustment to ensure proper occlusion and restoration alignment.
